The Impact of E-Waste on Climate Change
The Impact of E-Waste on Climate Change underscores the significant role improper electronics disposal plays in accelerating global warming. When such gadgets are disposed of improperly, there are poisonous compounds in the components including lead, mercury, and cadmium which inevitably pollute the ground water. Manufacturing and disposal of electronics are energy-intensive and results to increased emission of carbon. As the consumption of raw material rises and more new technology is introduced the environmental impact becomes more severe. But rewarding e-waste management and recycling habits will work to the interest of minimizing toxic emissions, conserving natural resources and eradicating negative impacts of climate change.
